I recently installed the Borla S-Type cat back which is the loud version. I've heard others mention some of the aftermarket exhaust are too quiet which is why I went with the S-Type. I can actually hear the exhaust when I get on it but subtle from inside when cruising.

I also went with a Diablo i3 tuner from Diablew as it was the most affordable combo (tuner + custom tunes) I could find at $500 and a friend was happy with his GMC truck tune from them. The process was simple and Lew at Diablew provides excellent communication. You can have the base tune installed with custom tune within a few days. Keep in mind 150 miles is required between each of the base, custom, and WOT tunes. Log files need to be sent back between each tune to ensure the custom tunes meet the conditions for your geographic location and gas quality.

Adding just the catback will result in a mechanical knock that I've been told is the Displacement on Demand switching between 4 and 8 cylinders and is very annoying. The custom tune can remove the DOD and resolves the racket and will improve performance as it will always run 8cyl. I have a 2016 Escalade so I was able to have my trans tuned as well and the driving characteristics with the ECM tune make for an awesome total package. Very happy with my decision.


At that kind of money isnt the AutoCal from BB a better option?

From what I can tell on BB site they charge $599 for the tuner and custom tunes. I paid $500 but I haven't used BB tuner nor service so it wouldn't be fair for me to comment if it's a better option

We would be happy to help with tuning and performance parts. We can tune the engine and transmission via our AutoCal for your vehicle. For more information please call 877-809-4070, or you can email us [email protected]. You can also message us here.

We did intake testing that would apply to 2014+ 5.3L, and 6.2L here is the link to the results on our website. http://blackbearperformance.com/IntakeTestResults_2016.asp

Let us know if you have any questions.


Do you guys have the AFE Momentum GT intake in stock with the pro 5R filter? I had it ordered from another vendor and was supposed to be delivered today when I called them and was told it was on back order until October (I initially went with them because they offered me a 10% military discount).

We do have one on hand, brand new sealed in box 54-74103. If that one will not work, let me know part number you need, and we can check how quickly we can get it.
